Do you trade-in your games or keep them?

I find it hard to believe some plays EVERY game they've ever bought.

I have some PAL PS2 games back home (or should I say, at my parents' house). I'm not sure if it's legal to send it here, but if it was, would stores here accept PAL games?

I can't speak for others, but personally I do, mainly for nostalgic purposes or because the latest version of whatever game I have I don't like(such as NCAA B-Ball 10.. Don't like it and I'm still playing CH2K8). Heck there are a lot of folks that still play NFL 2k5 because they don't like Madden. Just because it's old doesn't mean you can't play it. I don't go too far with it though. I do trade in most of my games. I only keep the great/classic ones.

And I'm sure a lot of people just like to collect games. I have a friend who has every Madden dating back to '02. He doesn't play them anymore, but he keeps them as a collection.

So? I didn't spend your money to buy them did I?

I wait for a special and only if I have a replacement game to fill my needs. I haven't been able to turn in CH2k8

I've always gotten more than $15 bucks on Ebay. You just have to be smart about it. Like I said, the key is knowing when to sell. And even if you trading in at GS, the key is to wait until the have an extra 50% on trade-in's and you should get a decent amount.

Exactly. How many people who have Madden 10 have played 08 or 09 since buying 10? IMO, it's just a waste of space in my entertainment center and the old games have no nostalgic value for me. So, selling is the obvious choice.

Ebay 'em. I haven't owned more than 10 games at once in my live, save for buying old Xbox games for under $2 the last year or so.

My point was its just a personal preference for me. You might want to trade in/sell yours. I have no problem keeping my old games.
